And we wonder who is really the booze lover here. Ironic that the guy famous for wanting to get wasted is the guy who didn’t crash into someone else. 

So, Ferrari does bullshitting with their road cars (think of the Purrari or the shoe guy) AND with their F1 team. Maybe they should just go back to selling hats and new cars riding on 10 year old platforms. Leave the F1 to Mercedes and leave the road cars to McLaren, Porsche, and Lamborghini.

Elon took a hint from Bugatti when it comes to loose construction of the record rules, I think. As I maintained about Bugatti’s run, it might not be official, but it’s hella fun (and amazing) to watch.

Sorry to  hear that you work for insurance 

As a guy with a fetish for small hatchbacks who sometimes parks in the city, this is my new recurring nightmare.

Care to elaborate on exactly how you found this out?

You make several fair points about the first and second amendments, but my problem with AR-15 assault rifles is that they are military spec weapons. Unless I can’t drive one of these to work every day without getting immediately arrested, you have no right to walk down the street with your AR-15.

The NRA is just butthurt about getting shot down (pardon the pun) by NASCAR. Guess they should try F1, WEC, or IMSA? Wait...those are the types of motorsport that civilized people to watch. With NASCAR, both rednecks and millionaires watch it.

Reliability? What kind of pleb are you? I’ll just have my private team of car technicians fix that up while I pause for a cup of Chateau Margaux. Fine, if you insist on taking more time to fix this, can you at least fetch my Phantom?

James May would be insulted by the fact that Elon would dare to go to Nurburgring at all. He’d probably blame that for the imminent death of the company.

I love DT’s work. Kudos to you, JeepLord!

I’d steal a VW Golf GTI. Simple, fuel efficient, adequately fast, and can hold lots of crap (more than an X1, GLA, XC40, etc), this seems to be the best choice for me. 

The car itself?

Tiguan?

“Heritage” with a 7 speed DCT? Now, that’s gonna piss a lot of people off very quickly.

Facts. 

Not to mention fuel economy of a sedan (actually more like a convertible b/c weight penalty)

I just think of Richard Hammond’s “luck” with a dragster and “luck” with a Rimac during a hillclimb...and notice that this combines top speed with a mid engined handler (even though this is a test of straightline speed, the Bug is good in the twisties , too).

QUESTION: do you want them to be more expensive and less reliable? Because if so, then yeah, call the Italians.
